Lucas and his Power Glove

He is such a great player that even with encumbering his control abilities, he is still able to beat the wizard (i.e. the Power Glove actually gives you poorer control in NES games than using a regular controller, much like the the Mario Kart steering wheel for the Wii, which makes me extremely angry.)

Anybody who designs controllers for the sake of novelty and not for improving upon the original should be charged with crimes against humanity. They should be force to watch all of their friends and family members be tortured for years and years.

No offense man, but the Wii wheel is rather easy to use and makes Mario Kart a lot more fun to play, especially with friends. Once again no disrespect intended but if you have used the Wii wheel more than a few times you have already mastered it. Maybe its just not your thing.

That is pretty crazy, I never owned one, but watching the movie again after about 20 years I was shocked at how it reminded me of the wii remote technology.

Just think. THAT piece of crap was responsible for the Wii.

And it spawned another piece of crap, the Wii. -_-

Regarding the topic at hand, Power Glove, I wonder if Lucas used it when he molested that kid.

The truth is that Lucas is Freddy Krueger *sarcasm*
Now your playing with power, see! Just like Red Bull gives you wings! The Power glove is really Freddy's Glove!

You're spoiled now

I was the inventor of the PowerGlove and it was not a controller that was built for the sake of novelty, it was originally built for a new Head Mounted Display, virtual realty video game system. The problem was that nobody wanted to complete with Nintendo at the time and therefore, we pulled it out of the Virtual Realty Game System and tied it into the Nintendo system.

Are you serious? You? The inventor of the Power Glove? Are you dead serious, because I fricken love it. But honestly, are you truly the sole creator?

[–] zekk4hire 15 years ago

no, he isn't. The power glove was created by Grant Goddard and Sam Davis. Part of it's design was BASED, and further modified, on a VR product called the VPL Data Glove.

I think Lucas is so bad.

He was my first movie crush when I was little. :O

Nothing sexier than a nerd gamer with fake strawberry blond hair and a bad attitude.

what are you doing outside jail?

I had already gotten a Power Glove at a garage sale when I saw this movie, so what I saw was that Lucas had to have mad skills if he could play a video game well with such a crappy device.
